::Made so many connections, both online & offline, at numerous art shows and community events::

WOOOOW! So hard to believe I've been this busy in 2014!

...So grateful for
all my wonderful students, amazingly generous clients, followers/supporters and
special artists with whom I have connected on a deep level with my
heart. THANK YOU ALL!

last but not least...Look for me in this book, April 2015

A World of Artist Journal Pages, curated by Dawn DeVries Sokol

I just received the announcement that my work will be published in another book, 'Incite 3: The Best of Mixed Media: The Art of Storytelling'! (ironic because my word for 2014 was 'storytelling'...Crazy cool, right?!)

Incite 3 The Best of Mixed Media: The Art of Storytelling

May you find peace and joy in 2015 and continue to let your beautiful light shine. Walk in AUTHORITY!

Hi friends! Isn't it amazing what you can create with the simplest, "plain Jane" office supplies?! I took a bunch of my giant paper clips and turned them into a collection of unique clips with brilliant colors and soft, dainty textures. Last but not least, a colorful ribbon bow was added to finish the look.
